In depth
Verdict
Ice Cold Bex found only one too good in a Kempton claimer last time and should confirm running with third-placed Brown Pete here. The former has yet to run up to his earlier turf form, however, and STORM RUNNER is preferred. He bids for a hat-trick after a couple of wins at Kempton and had a subsequent winner behind on his latest start. Zaheeb also won at Kempton recently, but both wins have been over 7f and he's been placed just the once in eight starts over today's trip.
